The best thing before applying any kind of foundation is to wash your face with a mild soap and apply a good moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
The rest is almost easy depending on your skin type.
You should test some products and choose the one that you feel comfortable to work with and is friendly with your skin.Is there a right way of applying foundation and concealer?
Hi,
There are a couple ways to apply it, depending on the finished look you want. If you want a more natural look, dab the concealer on using a sponge and blend in with your fingers. You can use the same technique for foundation using a clockwise motion going from the outside of you face towards the inside. Don't forget to blend!
The other way to conceal, my personal fav, is to put on your foundation 1st, using the method above, and then put on the concealer. This will ultimately cover more and last longer. For even longer wear, dust a translucent powder over the concealer.
Last but not least, try not to stress about you scars. Everyone has imperfections, learn to love yourself and others will too :)
You are supppose to use the concealer first on the scars and belemishs then apply the foundation over. Use a foundation sponge and apply by section (forehead, cheeks, nose chin)
Blend down around the chin, up at the forhead and towards the hair line around checks. Set with a powder or a mineral foundation. I would recommend doing this before you apply eyeshadow so you have a clean slate to start with
the make-up i always use is dream matte mouse foundation it is really good and it will cover up almost eveything, it leaves no patch's it blends in with your skin colour, the colour i use is fawn it's the perfect colour for me
apply concealer w/ your ring finger in a rolling motion over your scars focusing on the area around the blemish as well as the blemish itself. remember that concealer is not to erase the blemish, it simply conceals it. when you apply foundation over the blemish use a large brush and a powder and blot over the concealer first before you apply it to your entire face. (that locks in the concealer for hours)
go to this website its verry descriptive: http://www.handbag.com/beauty/tips/conce鈥?/a>
I like powder foundations (like MAC Studio Fix) as they are the least messy and offer great coverage. These are applied with large foundation brushes (sponges in all cases make makeup look cakey). As far as concealer, liquid is better than stick in my opinion (again, less cakey), and you can easily apply it with a nylon bristle ';paint brush'; (Sonia Kashuk makes great brushes, available at Target). Make sure you use foundation first, them dot on concealer and continue to blot the brush in the general area until it's well blended, depending on the severity of the blemish you can also retouch the foundation over the top of the concealer. After this you can use a sheer powder (for a matte finish) and then any bronzer or blush you like to use.
check out the show what not to wear on TLC - their makeup artist has GREAT tips on makeup...also, find someone whose makeup you really like and ask - most women are very happy to share hair %26amp; makeup ideas!
Put the concealer on first and blend it! Use a powder based foundation cause it covers SO much better! Put the foundation on your finger tips and kind of mix it between your fingers! That will help you put it on without it getting gunky! Then just blend it on your skin! Hope that helps some!
i think u can skip the concealer. its gonna make ur makeup look uneven. apply the foundation over ur face and use a smaller brush to apply over the scars evenly. then use a transparent loose powder for a more lasting and ';flawless'; look.
